UPDATE: First we kill the Lawyers [View All]

Yesterday I posted a comment about not being able to get "loose" tires mounted at Wal-mart or Sam's due to a lawsuit against Wal-Mart.

I called every major tire shop in my area, Big-O,Discount, Firestone, Goodyear, Sears, NAPA, Fletcher's and so on. I got the same answer at all of them, some even mentioned the Wal-Mart suit. A couple of the places suggested I try the "Mexicans". So I did. I pulled into a Hispanic owned shop and 2 very polite guys jumped all over me to get the job done. $40.00 cash all 4, mounted and balanced. Don't ask me who, I'm quite sure not all of their transactions show up on a tax return.

But here is the upshot, and maybe something for the Democrats to worry about. The conversation, while they were working, turned to the Presidential elections. These guys had no time for Obama or Clinton or the Democratic Party in general. The shop owner is from California and thought Reagan was the best President in his lifetime and thought he was a great Gov. when he lived in Ca. While they aren't too sure about McCain, they trusted him more on their biggest concern, illegal immigration. The "illegals" are taking their jobs for less pay and causing big crime problems in the community. I got a real earful, and some insight into some of their way of thinking.

I know it was only 2 people, but they sure weren't bashful about expressing their opinions.
